Add images, watermarks, text overlays, and more to GIFs to make them uniquely yours with Descript. Incorporate additional frames or backgrounds into GIFs with Descript’s free and easy video editing software that doubles as an image-to-GIF and video-to-GIF converter.
Descript’s video editor is an excellent all-in-one GIF maker, for photo slideshows and animated GIFs alike. Take still images and video files from your hard drive and convert them into a meme with your brand’s watermark. No need to open another application to resize anything. You can complete the whole creative journey in Descript.
Start by uploading the GIF file you want to edit. Simply drag and drop your GIF into the Descript workspace or use the upload button to select the file from your computer or our built-in GIF library.
Choose the image you want to add from your computer and drop it on top of your GIF in the canvas to rearrange and resize it. You can also add shapes or stock media from the tool bar. You can adjust the length and duration of the image and GIF in the timeline. To add text overlays, you can use the text tool to add static or animated text. To create a watermark effect, you can adjust the opacity of your image in the properties panel when the layer is selected.
After positioning the image, preview the modified GIF to make sure everything looks as expected. You can make any necessary adjustments to the image placement or size. Once satisfied, export your new GIF by selecting the export option and choosing your desired file format and quality settings. Your GIF with the added image is now ready to be shared or embedded anywhere.

Descript has multiple functions that ensure your projects are easy to make, fun to share, and always backed up in the cloud.
When you’re creating GIFs from a larger project, you can make changes to the originals without worrying about losing anything or making regrettable mistakes. Descript non-destructive editing means the original is always preserved in the cloud, so you can revert at any time.
Adding text gives some pop to a silent GIF. Descript’s automatic transcription combines with our Fancy Captions feature to enable you to add dynamic captions in a few clicks.
Upload your brand’s fonts to make the aesthetic cohesive and use them to create a watermark that you can place anywhere. (To remove Descript’s watermark on the bottom right, you’ll have to upgrade to a paid plan.)
You can also create Instagram reels, TikTok videos, YouTube shorts, Audiograms, and any compressed promotional content you want, all in Descript, no additional apps needed. (Although you can easily export your timeline to Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple Final Cut, as well.) You barely even need to create another project. Just select the section you want to convert into a GIF and create a new, nested composition.
Have a photo you took with an iPhone or Android — or an image file you cooked up in Photoshop? As long as it’s an accepted image format (BMP, GIF, JPEG, EXIF, PNG, TIFF), you can upload it to Descript and use it to make a GIF photo montage.
Adding a frame to your GIF is as simple as layering it over the image or video — you can do it by dragging it into the script or the timeline. You can move or resize elements to get the exact ratio you want. Speaking of ratio, you can toggle aspect ratio, resolution, and frame rate in the “Video settings” menu.
Descript’s free version gives you three hours of video transcription; you can make as many GIFs as you want. Upgrade to our $12/month Creator package, and you’ll receive 10 monthly hours of transcription and watermark-free exporting. That goes to 30 hours with the $24/month Pro package. Contact us to negotiate the Enterprise package, and we’ll assign a dedicated account representative and provide onboarding and training.
